I suspect we need some idea of what the one csv file's table does to the other csv file. For instance, an associative array can deal with a two column translate. PERL might be a good choice, as it has CSV handlers. Shell can only deal with "well behaved" CSV, e.g., no quoted commas. PERL can draw on many resources to deal with your problem, can call compiled code and has much of the speed of compiled code.

PROCESSCSV.PY(1)					      Virtualization Support						  PROCESSCSV.PY(1)

NAME

       processcsv.py - process virt-top CSV files

SUMMARY

	virt-top --csv data.csv
	processcsv.py < data.csv

DESCRIPTION

       virt-top is a top(1)-like utility for showing stats of virtualized domains.

       processcsv.py is a simple Python script that post-processes the output of "virt-top --csv".

       It is used like this:

	virt-top --csv data.csv
	processcsv.py < data.csv

       The second command will overwrite the following files in the current directory:

       "global.csv"
	   This contains the global (host) statistics columns from the CSV file.

       "domainNN.csv" (multiple files)
	   For each libvirt domain ID NN, a file is created containing the per-domain statistics from the CSV file.
